KOS Vegan Protein Powder Erythritol Free, Vanilla USDA Organic - Pea Protein Blend, Plant Based Superfood Rich in Vitamins & Minerals - Keto, Dairy Free - Meal Replacement for Women & Men, 28 Servings

This is my favorite vegan protein powder. I have it almost daily for breakfast after a workout. It mixes well in a small blender and doesn't have a gritty taste. The Vanilla flavor works well with almond milk, coconut milk, juices, or even iced coffee for a Frappuccino. I highly recommend Kos protein powder and will repurchase.

Alright, I'll start off by saying this is the BEST protein powder I have ever had. I have tried multiple brands (big and small, MLM or bought at target) and a lot I have trashed. I have a degree in nutrition and fitness, I'm a wife, a boy mom chef, a very busy online nutrition and fitness professional. I don't have time for crappy products. I don't want to be eating or drinking them, I won't recommend them to my clients and I certainly won't give them to my kids or family. Thankfully this product hit the amazing mark in everything. 1. The plant protein sources; pea, flax, quinoa, pumpkin and chia. Pea protein is an awesome source of protein along with the carbs we want. Flax and chia are great sources of omega 3's (which we all need more of since we are typically high in omega 6 which causes inflammation), Chia seeds are perfect for adding in additional fiber into our diets with very little effort. Quinoa is the perfect mix of protein and good carbs and pumpkin is amazing for our reproductive health - women and men! 2. The awesome enzyme blend; amylase, protease, lipase, lactase, and cellulase. Protease which digests protein. Amylase digests carbohydrates. Lipase for fats and oils digestion. Lactase which digests dairy products. And cellulase that converts glucose. Who wouldn't want this in their protein shake? 3. The sweet stuff. Organic agave, Organic Coconut Sugar, Stevia, Monk Fruit. Perfect blend of sweet without being too sweet and a bonus because it doesn't upset any of the little bellies in my home. 4. The fruit and vegetable blend they have formulated is perfect! It leaves no grit, even with foods like quinoa and seeds being in it. It blends perfectly, super smooth, cooks well, freezes in other foods well, isn't clumpy, and it's $39? People pay $200+ for a shake that doesn't taste half as good and is loaded with things that can cause a lot of GI distress. I would easily pay $200 for this shake. They batch test their own products..no weird, sketchy other company needed. If something is too high - the ditch it! 5. This one is pretty important. Their customer service is amazing! I work in an industry where client relations is SO important and these guys nailed it with their team. They've answered tons of questions for me and have been so kind! I ordered the Vanilla to try first - but I love it so much I know that the chocolate will be just as good if not better! I'll be ordering that tonight. Happy to say I will never have to try or search for another protein powder again! I will 100% be recommending this to ALL of my clients, family, friends and anyone I know because I love it that much!

Update: after using it for the last few months, I can definitely say that the taste and texture all depends on preparation and what flavors you pare it with. So far my favorite flavor combo is to add peanut butter and cocoa powder and this morning I added a bit of chinese 5 spice. It definitely needs to be blended in a smoothie maker or blender, not hand blended in a shaker bottle or with a spoon, as it creates chalky clumps otherwise. I dont feel it pares well with blended fruit, but maybe if you added some type of yogurt. I just found the fruit wasn't enough to cover up the veggie/mushroom aftertaste. Pros: pregnancy safe ingredients, non-dairy, gluten free, soy free and organic. Extremely hard to find something that matches all those criteria. It's a good value. Cons: doesn't blend well, leaves a powdery feel in your mouth. The taste, although bareable, is not ideal. I wish they would have left out the vegetable blend, as I can taste that more than vanilla it's supposed to be flavored as. So far I've tried it in 2 different flavored shakes. I blended one scoop with frozen blueberries, fresh pomegranate seeds, and a little dash of vanilla. The second I added one scoop, peanut butter, chocolate sauce, and a half a banana. The PB/chocolate/banana worked better than the berry. The berry was palatable but not exactly pleasant. The PB one wad midly better. Overall, I'll still continue to eat it, as I'm desperate to get enough protein in for my pregnancy and this is the only shake I've found that I can eat all the ingredients plus be organic. Again, the flavor isn't disgusting but could definitely be improved. Leave the veggies out please.

Taste is not impressive. Better than other brands but not as good as I expected
